Socialism would work if we powered it with perpetual motion machines.

The solution to big tech censorship is opting out.

Librem 5 Laptop Mode

"The Librem 5 can now change from factors easily. Connect it to a powered USB-C dock to enable desktop mode. Or connect it to a laptop dock to turn your phone into a fully working laptop."

Re @unseen1_unseen @99freemind Over dinner, my son suggested just telling Biden he won, set him up in a mock White House and put him on a reality show. I’d watch that! https://twitter.com/JulieMacCallum2/status/1323402816434671621 #Biden #WhiteHouse

Okay Fediverse, pick the next President of the United States. Citizenship not required; but vote like your life depends on it.

Foreshadowing, Why the Purism Logo is a Rectangle

"A logo carries meaning, it should be simple yet effective. The Purism logo; a simple rectangle; carries significant meaning and was foreshadowing what Purism is delivering."

What a time to be in journalism: Between Bobulinski and the Biden corruption scandal, rioting in our cities, a new Supreme Court justice’s first full day, and peace breaking out in the Middle East, has there ever been so much to *not* cover!?! https://twitter.com/AndrewCMcCarthy/status/1321419955657736200 #Biden #MiddleEast

One of the neatest tricks Big Tech ever pulled was convincing people that phones weren't general-purpose computers and should have different rules than laptops or desktops. These rules conveniently give the vendor more control.

Now these rules are moving to laptops and desktops.

Microsoft got in antitrust trouble for bundling IE for free w/ Windows to compete with Netscape.

Now imagine Microsoft controlled whether Netscape could be installed or updated on Windows, and blocked them, and you are closer to the current situation with phones.

The government in #Portugal is making a tracking phone app mandatory by law. Among other features, it forces geographic tracking on at all times. Expect similar things in other members of the #EU. A #Linux phone was never so necessary.

I ordered a #Librem5 from @Puri_sm over three years ago, but am still waiting. There aren't many alternatives, but reality is imposing itself. Hope the #Librem5 makes it on time.
